Hi Thorsten, JeanHeyd, I've just checked that JeanHeyd opened a survey about the name. It's here: <https://thephd.dev/the-big-array-size-survey-for-c>. Thanks for the survey, JeanHeyd; It's a fair one. (The only thing I miss is anouncing it to some relevant publics, but I guess I'm doing it now, so that's ok.) Would you mind sharing provisional results before Nov 18? That's the cut-off date for having this feature in GCC 15. If you don't want to publish provisional results for fear of influencing other voters, you could share them in private.
